Gould Datasys 944A - 500 MS/s 500 MHz

The DataSYS® 944A is the latest addition to the range of Gould digital storage oscilloscopes and offers high-bandwidth, low-noise functionality .

With a 500 MHz bandwidth - essential in applications such as telecommunications testing, digital system development and analog circuit noise debugging - combined with an excellent sampling rate of 500 MS/s, the 944A ensures that signal details as narrow as 2 ns are acquired. Add to this the instrument's superb low-noise inputs, and you have a very high degree of signal fidelity which compares favourably with that of the best analog instruments.

Noise levels significantly lower than those of previous instruments on the market have been achieved by using a new, custom-designed, preamplifier ASIC. Signal fidelity is further ensured by the 5 GS/s (gigasamples per second) equivalent sampling rate.

Each of the four low-noise input channels has its own 50,000-word memory, while advanced triggering facilities ensure that the 944A can capture both repetitive and transient signals over a large dynamic range of frequency and amplitude

Like other instruments in the Gould DataSYS family, the 944A offers a color display and a wide choice of storage capabilities, waveform analysis, automatic measurements and long-term archiving for later reference. Complete application solutions can be provided by adding a number of low-cost options which can be seamlessly integrated to tailor the instrument exactly to the user's requirements.
